The isotopic composition of a mixture of elements emitting gamma rays can be determined by the distribution of the pulse amplitudes on the exit end of a differential gamma ray spectrometer provided with an oscillograph. Examples of the use of the suggested arrangement, called radiometric analysis, are given, illustrating the determination of uranium, radium, and thorium content in rocks and ores. The wiring diagram and the basic scheme of the entire installation are given. The results of the radiometric analysis of specimens of rocks are in good agreement with the chemical analyses. The possibilities of application of radiometric analysis are wide, since the method is free of errors that are due to the absorption of external radiation by the specimens.
